Candice Harrison

Assistant Professor

Candice Harrison joined the department in Fall 2008 after
completing her Ph.D. at Emory University. Her teaching interests
span the eras of colonial and nineteenth century U.S. history, and
include the subjects of economic and labor history, African
American history, American popular culture, and comparative race
and slavery in the Atlantic World.

Recently, Dr. Harrison received a Ford Foundation Postdoctoral
Fellowship to support her current book manuscript entitled
"Democratizing the Market: Place, Power and Politics in Early
Philadelphia." The manuscript explores the social and political
dynamics of exchange in the diverse street markets of early
Philadelphia.
